The dust shroud is only $30 and hooks right up to a shop vac. Definitely worth it.

[@timzaccaria393]

Love the homemade dust collection, this is exactly what I’ll do

[@mattsb5196]

Well done. Great video work.

[@alecscarcliff9522]

nice homemade dust shroud it worked really !

[@jamesyman007]

super good job!

[@rcarioca]

how is the floor holding out ? why did you opt to use mortar filler rather than epoxy or polyurethane base floor crack filler ?

[@jasonmacdonald27]

I love the ingenuity

[@mikeysan01]

Very helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@beanstalkbuilds]

Glad you think so!

[@vicjay1972]

Always good to spray water on unfinished drywall😊

[@AnnD2023]

I purchased hydraulic cement to fill those little cracks. What are your thoughts on that?

[@robhdez5048]

Dude, love the improvisation...BUT definitely would have sprung for a larger grinder with a real dust shroud...😷🤣

[@kaylas4132]

The crocs help. speed holes for faster progress

[@danielmarjanovic9957]

Is it fine to use stucco for the cracks?

[@seantran1285]

I accidentally used red devil rd3000 concrete filler, do you think the epoxy will stick to it?

[@NimrodOutdoors]

Man great video, have you ever heard of Dustless Technologies? They make the best dust collection system (Shrouds and vacuums) at a reasonable price. The time you save on clean up after the fact will be worth what you think you will save by not having it.

[@beanstalkbuilds]

I have not heard of them, I will check them out thanks!

[@daniellouis8489]

Like the fact that you use home stuff and system D.

[@beanstalkbuilds]

Thats what DIY is all about!

[@kennethamend8557]

You did a nice job. Brother, you could pick up a dust shroud for $40.00 then buy a couple bags for your shop vac...no dust..if money was an issue...you definitely could have used water, then just vacuumed it up..easy peasy. By the way 4" angle grinder with a shroud and proper diamonds is a great investment...

[@beanstalkbuilds]

Oh yeah you learn as you go for sure. I definitely would have done stuff differently, but that is part of the process. I thought about the water but i was worried that the slurry would make things difficult in another way.

[@JeanieJanetskiNelson]

Ignorant newbie here, but what kind of handheld sander/grinder is that? I know you put the link to the diamond blade, but what is the actual tool? Thanks! Awesome video. No one else is showing it done this way.

[@beanstalkbuilds]

It is just your standard 4 inch angle grinder. If you need a link to the one im using let me know!

[@sakibc1787]

The drywalls wet 😮

[@newfie4320]

Can this be done during the winter months? Thanks

[@diegocortes5274]

Sure can

[@kathywillis9200]

Check the temperature range on your paint/epoxy before applying

[@Ajh747]

Did you use clear and shining paint after you painted?

[@beanstalkbuilds]

I did not. However I do have some nice White LED lights in the garage

[@AdamZollweg-qr5fu]

Good god. This is the definition of wasting money and time in an effort to DIY for cheap. Whatever coating you put on that concrete won’t last more then a year. Concrete prep is one of those things you need to do the right way, even if it costs a bit more if you want it to last. Or even look good when you’re all done.

[@timbyles9472]

What else would you have done besides etching?

[@HENSLEYDMB]

Etching does not work. The floor MUST be ground down or it just will not last.

[@dropdhammer6749]

You missed the part where he ground the floor by hand 😂😂

[@thomastheoharis4483]

yesssss

[@lynnchristensen57]

Wetting the concrete floor you're gringing with an electric grinder is a sure fire recipe to die! DON'T DO THAT!

[@ScienceBitch123]

A dust shield from harbor freight is 30 bucks

[@beanstalkbuilds]

80$ for us canadians

[@GingerFan301]

Proper protective equipment like crocs

[@kathywillis9200]

And jeans in case you get attacked by a roque angle saw

[@dsal7774]

How much for the crocs?

[@lucasblues1202]

Pressure washer would of taken care of that whole floor. Bye bye dust, dirt,debris and paint

[@darrell9351]

Knee pads you need Knee pads my knees hurt just watching you.
